  • The abnormal proliferation of aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty and possibly also in the development of hypertension. The present study was designed to examine the inhibitory effects and the mechanism of luteolin 7-glucoside (L7G) on the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-induced proliferation of VSMCs. L7G significantly inhibited the PDGF-BB-induced proliferation and the DNA synthesis of the VSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Pre-incubation of the VSMCs with L7G significantly inhibited the PDGF-BB-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), Akt and the phospholipase C $(PLC)-{\gamma}1$ activation. However, L7G had almost no affect on the phosphorylation of $PDGF-{\beta}$ receptor tyrosine kinase, which was induced by PDGF-BB. These results suggest that L7G inhibits the PDGF-BB-induced proliferation of VSMCs via the blocking of $(PLC)-{\gamma}1$, Akt, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation.

  • Chronic electroconvulsive shock(ECS) was shown to Increase phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate(PIP$_2$) breakdown and the activity of PLC with the accumulation of inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate(IP3). The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of ECS on the expression of phospholipase C(PLC) isotypes in rat brain. Two groups of animals were prepared: sham and ECS treated groups. Rats in ECS treated groups received maximal ECS(70mA, 0.5second, 60㎐) by constant current stimulator through ear-clip to induce tonic extension seizures for 12 consecutive days. The expression of PLC isotypes in rat brain was determined by immunohistochemical procedure using sagital section of rat brain. The immunoreactivity of PLC${\beta}$1 was observed in corpus striatum, hippocampus, thalamus and that of PLC${\gamma}$1 in corpus striatum, hippocampus, thalamus, frontal cortex, parietooccipital cortex, limbic forebrain, pons, medulla, superior colliculus, inferior colliculus, rest of midbrain. The amount of PLC was analyzed by Western blot using antibodies against PLC${\beta}$1 and PLC${\gamma}$1. Chronic ECS reduced the immunoreactivity of PLC${\beta}$1 in corpus striatum, hippocampus, thalamus but had little effect on PLC${\gamma}$1. To quantify this change, quantitative Western blot using antibodies against PLC${\beta}$1 and PLC${\gamma}$1 was conducted. The immunoreactivity of PLC${\beta}$1 in ECS treated rat whole brain was decreased by 40 % in cytosolic fraction and 26 % in membrane fraction. This different effect of ECS on PLC isotypes may results from the difference of their activation mechanisms and the different effects of ECS on them. The results from the present study suggest that chronic ECS primalily affects neurotransmitter receptors related IP$_3$ signaling in rat brain.

  • 목적 : 최근 신호전달체계에서 중요한 효소로 알려진 phosphollpase C(PLC) 동위효소들의 발현이 조직의 종류와 발달과정에 따라 특이한 양상을 보이고 $PLC-{\gamma}1$은 세포의 성장, 분화 및 증식에 중추적 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다 방사선 조사 후 세포내 신호전달에 관한 연구도 최근 활발하여 소장 점막의 재생에 $PLC-{\gamma}$ 및 ras 암 유전자단백이 관여하고, 조직 손상에 protein kinase C(PKC)가 관여하는 등 연구들이 보고되었으나 이들의 연구가 단편적이며 아직 확실히 밝혀진 바가 없다. 본 연구는 백서의 소장에 방사선을 조사하여 PLC 동위효소, epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR), ras 암유전자단백, 및 PKC와 같이 신호전달체계에 관여하는 물질들의 발현을 시간적으로 관찰하여 방사선에 의한 소장 조직의 손상 및 재생 기전을 밝히고자 하였다. 대상 및 방벌 실험동물로 암.수 구별없이 생후 4-5개월, 체중 250-3009의 백서(Spraque-Dawley) 60마리를 대상으로 하여 실험군으로 전신에 8Gy의 방사선을 조사하고 방사선 조사 후 1일, 3일, 5일, 7일,14일에 각각 10마리씩 희생시켜 소장을 적출하여 사용하였고, 정상대조군은 각 시기별로 2마리씩 사용하였다. 적출된 소장의 반은 즉시 얼려 PLC의 면역블로팅 및 phosphoinositide(PI) 가수분해 활성도 측정에 사용하였고, 나머지 반은 포르말린에 고정한 다음 파라핀에 포매하여 조직병리검색과 면역조직화학염색에 사용하였다. EGFH, ras 암유전자단백, PLC, PKC의 발현은 면역조직화학염색법으로 관찰하였다. 점막세포의 재생여부는 광학현미경상의 유사분열 수와 proliferating ceil nuclear antigen(PCNA) kit를 이용한 증식세포핵 수로 확인하였다. PLC는 $PLC-{\beta},\;-{\gamma},\;-{\delta}$ 발현을 모두 검색하였고, 각각 면역블로팅과 Pl 가수분해 활성도 측정으로 확인하였다. 결과 : 1) 조직병리학 소견상 방사선 조사에 의한 소장의 조직손상은 1일부터 관찰되어 3일까지 심하였고 재생은 3일과 5일에 현저하였다. 2) 면역조직화학염색 결과 $PLC-{\gamma}1$의 발현은 재생을 보이는 3일과 5일에 발현되었으며 5일째의 점막에서 가장 강하게 나타났다. $PLC-{\delta}1$은 방사선 조사 후 손상을 보이는 1일과 3일의 점막에서 강한 발현을 나타내었다. $PLC-{\beta}1$은 모든 실험군에서 발현되지 않았다. 면역블로팅 결과도 면역조직화학염색과 일치하는 결과를 보였다. 3) $PLC-{\gamma}1$의 활성도를 보기 위한 PI 가수분해 활성도 측정결과는 3일과 5일에 현저히 높은 수치를 보여 방사선 조사후 소장점막의 재생과정의 중요한 신호전달과정이 PLC-1이 관여하는 PI 가수분해에 의해 이뤄짐을 알 수 있었다. 4) ras 암유전자단백의 발현온 재생이 시작되는 3일부터 나타나 7일까지 지속되었고, EGFR 도 재생시기인 3일과 5일에 가장 강하게 나타났고 그 후 점차 감소하는 추세를 보였다. 한편 PKC는 발현이 미약했으나 증식지수가 높은 점막에 3일과 5일에 발현이 관찰되었다. 결론 : 방사선조사에 의한 소장점막조직의 손상 및 재생과정의 신호전달기전에 PLC의 신호전달체계에 관여하는 효소가 중요한 역할을 하며 특히 $PLC-{\gamma}1$과 ras암유전자단백, EGFR, PKC는 방사선조사 후 공장점막세포의 재생기전에 주로 발현되어 재생과정과 관련된 신호전달기전에 관여함을 나타내었다. $PLC-{\delta}$은 방사선 조사 후 세포의 손상시기에 강한 발현을 보여 특히 손상과정과 관련된 신호전달기전에 관여함을 추측할 수 있었다. $PLC-{\beta}1$의 발현은 모든 실험군에서 음성인 소견을 보여 방사선조사 후 소장점막의 세포손상 및 재생과정에서 $PLC-{\beta}1$과 관련된 신호전달체계는 관여하지 않음을 알 수 었었다. 그러나, 이러한 신호전달체계의 기전을 구체적으로 밝히기 위해서는 추후 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

  • Background: Based on the assertion that apocynin diminishes acute lung injury (ALI) by inhibition of NADPH oxidase, the effect of apocynin was tested in interleukin-$1{\alpha}$ (IL-1)-induced ALI in rats. Methods: IL-1 was insufflated into the trachea of Sprague-Dawley rats to induce ALI, and apocynin (8 mg/kg) was given intravenously for inhibition of NADPH oxidase. In addition, we determined whether apocynin inhibited generation of superoxide anions from isolated human neutrophils. Five hours after IL-1 instillation, lung injury parameters, expression of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) by cells from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), an index of oxidative stress in lung tissues (${\gamma}$-glutamyltranspeptidase, activity), and ultrastructure of alveolar type II (AT II) cells were evaluated. Results: Apocynin decreased the generation of free radicals from phorbol myristate (PMA)-activated neutrophils in vitro, but did not ameliorate ALI. IL-1 induced enhancement of the expression of cPLA2 on neutrophils was not altered by apocynin. Conclusion: Apocynin induced suppression of the generation of superoxide anions from neutrophils by inhibition of NADPH oxidase does not attenuate IL-1-induced ALI in rats.

  • Curcumin is naturally occurring polyphenolic compound found in turmeric and has many pharmacological activities. The present study was undertaken to evaluate anti-allergic inflammatory activity of curcumin, and to investigate its inhibitory mechanisms in immunoglobulin E (IgE)/Ag-induced mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) and in a mouse model of IgE/Ag-mediated passive systemic anaphylaxis (PSA). Curcumin inhibited cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) dependent prostaglandin $D_2$ ($PGD_2$) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) dependent leukotriene $C_4$ ($LTC_4$) generation dose-dependently in BMMCs. To probe the mechanism involved, we assessed the effects of curcumin on the phosphorylation of Syk and its downstream signal molecules. Curcumin inhibited intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ influx via phospholipase $C{\gamma}1$ ($PLC{\gamma}1$) activation and the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and the nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) pathway. Furthermore, the oral administration of curcumin significantly attenuated IgE/Ag-induced PSA, as determined by serum $LTC_4$, $PGD_2$, and histamine levels. Taken together, this study shows that curcumin offers a basis for drug development for the treatment of allergic inflammatory diseases.

  • The aim of this study was to determine whether britanin, isolated from the flowers of Inula japonica (Inulae Flos), modulates the generation of allergic inflammatory mediators in activated mast cells. To understand the biological activity of britanin, the authors investigated its effects on the generation of prostaglandin $D_2$ ($PGD_2$), leukotriene $C_4$ ($LTC_4$), and degranulation in IgE/Ag-induced bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Britanin dose dependently inhibited degranulation and the generations of $PGD_2$ and $LTC_4$ in BMMCs. Biochemical analyses of IgE/Ag-mediated signaling pathways demonstrated that britanin suppressed the phosphorylation of Syk kinase and multiple downstream signaling processes, including phospholipase $C{\gamma}1$ ($PLC{\gamma}1$)-mediated calcium influx, the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs; extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, c-Jun $NH_2$-terminal kinase and p38), and the nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ ($NF-{\kappa}B$) pathway. Taken together, the findings of this study suggest britanin suppresses degranulation and eicosanoid generation by inhibiting the Syk-dependent pathway and britanin might be useful for the treatment of allergic inflammatory diseases.

  • Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that are derived from hematopoietic precursor cells and require macrophage-colony stimulating factor and receptor activator of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL) for their survival, proliferation, differentiation, and activation. The binding of RANKL to its receptor RANK triggers osteoclast precursors to differentiate into osteoclasts. This process depends on RANKL-RANK signaling, which is temporally regulated by various adaptor proteins and kinases. Here we summarize the current understanding of the mechanisms that regulate RANK signaling during osteoclastogenesis. In the early stage, RANK signaling is mediated by recruiting adaptor molecules such as tumor necrosis factor receptorassociated factor 6 (TRAF6), which leads to the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), and the transcription factors nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) and activator protein-1 (AP-1). Activated NF-${\kappa}B$ induces the nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), which is the key osteoclastogenesis regulator. In the intermediate stage of signaling, the co-stimulatory signal induces $Ca^{2+}$ oscillation via activated phospholipase $C{\gamma}2$ ($PLC{\gamma}2$) together with c-Fos/AP-1, wherein $Ca^{2+}$ signaling facilitates the robust production of NFATc1. In the late stage of osteoclastogenesis, NFATc1 translocates into the nucleus where it induces numerous osteoclast-specific target genes that are responsible for cell fusion and function.

  • Objective : To investigate the possible molecular mechanism(s) of melittin as a candidate of anti-cancer drug, we examined the effects of the compound on the growth of human lung carcinoma cell line A549. Methods: MTT, morphological changes, DAPI staining, Western blot, RT-PCR and in vitro prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) accumulation assays were performed. Results: The anti-proliferative effect by melittin treatment in A549 cells was associated with morphological changes such as membrane shrinking and cell rounding up. Melittin induced apoptotic cell death in a concentration-dependent manner, which was associated with inhibition or degradation of apoptotic target proteins such as ${\beta}$-catenin, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase(PARP) and phospholipase $C-{\gamma}1(PLC-{\gamma}1)$. Melittin treatment inhibited the expression of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) and accumulation of PGE2 in aconcentration-dependent fashion. In addition, Melittin treatment induced the down-regulation of telomerase reverse transcriptase(hTERT) and proto-oncogene c-myc expression of A549 cells. Conclusions: Taken together, these findings suggest that melittin-induced inhibition of human lung cancer cell proliferation is associated with the induction of apoptotic cell death via regulation of several major growth regulatory gene products, and melittin may have therapeutic potential in human lung cancer.

  • The protein p104 was first isolated as a binding partner of the Src homology domain of phospholipase C$\gamma$1, and has been shown to associate with p85$\alpha$, Grb2. The ectopic expression of p104 reduced cellular growth rate, which was also achieved with the overexpression of only the proline-rich region of p104. The proline-rich region of p104 has been found to inhibit the colony formation of platelet-derived growth factor BB-stimulated NIH3T3 cells and MCF7 cancer cells on soft agar. Mutagenesis analysis showed that the second and third proline-rich regions are essential for growth control, as well as for interaction with p85$\alpha$. Overexpression of p104 increased the level of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, $p27^{Kip1}$, and inhibited the activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). In summary, p104 interacts with p85$\alpha$ and is involved in the regulation of $p27^{Kip1}$ expression for the reduction of cellular proliferation.

  • 목적 : Phospholipase D (PLD)는 phosphatidylcholine을 phosphatidic acid (PA)와 choline으로 가수분해 시키는 효소이다. 최근 이 효소는 다른 phospholipase들과 유사하게 세포 신호전달과정에 관여하는 것으로 알려져 많은 관심의 대상이 되고 있으며, 아울러 발암과정에 관여하리라는 추측을 하게 하고 있다. 이 실험에서는 쥐를 방사선 조사하여 각 조직에서 올레산-PLO에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 방법 : PLD assay를 위한 반응 혼합물에는 $0.1\;\muCi$$1,2-di[1^{14}C]palmitoyl$ phosphatidylcholine, 0.5mM phosphatidylcholine, 5mM sodium oleate, $0.2\%$ taurodeoxycholate, 50mM HEPES buffer(pH 6.5), 10mM $CaCl_2$와 25mM KF 를 함께 넣어주었다. 생성된 PA는 TLC로 분리하여 그 방사능을 측정하였다. 사용된 동물은 암컷 Wistar 쥐로서 코발트 60 원격치료 기기를 이용, 조사범위를 $10cm\times10cm$로하여 분당 선량율 2.7Gy로 방사선 조사선랸 l0Gy와 25Gy를 조사 하였다. 결과 : PLD 활성은 폐조직에서 가장 높았으며 신장, 근육, 리, 비장, 골수, 흥선. 간의 순으로 나타났다. 방사선 조사결과 PLD 활성에 변동을 보인 조직은 흥선, 비장, 폐와 골수이며, 특히 흉선과 비장은 PLD의 할성이 각각 2배 이상 증가한 것으로 관찰되었다. 이와는 반대고 골수의 PLD는 $30\%$ 이상 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 한편 PLD 활성값이 가장 낮은 판은 방사선 영향을 거의 받지 않는 것처럼 보였다. 결론 : 동물전신에 방사선 조사시 PLD가 가장 민감한 영향을 받는 조직은 림프양 기관과 조혈 세포인 것으로 보여 PLD가 이들 조직의 생리기능과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 암시해 주고있다. 더 나아가 방사선 긴장 (radiation stress)이 이들 조직의 세포증식내지 괴사현상연구에 중요한 수단을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이다.
